Consequently, in the 3rd year you will earn interest on Rs 1,210 and so on as long as you stay invested.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Following is the glimpse of the wealth that will be created if you would invest Rs 1,00,000 @ 12% for <strong><em>n<\/em><\/strong> number of years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/budwisefunds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/corpus-value.jpg\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><strong><em>DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In case of simple interest, the investor earns subsequent returns only on the principal amount while in case of compound interest; the interest is earned on the principal amount as well as on the interest earned in the immediate preceding year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/budwisefunds.com\/blog\/health-insurance-should-you-buy-personal-health-insurance-plan-in-spite-of-the-company-provided-medical-insurance\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Health Insurance \u2013 Should you buy personal health insurance plan in spite of the company provided medical insurance<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0For better understanding of the investors I would like to quote an example here.

But how do they actually create wealth for the investors, let us understand. For that let\u2019s assume that you invest in mutual funds via SIP and invest Rs 5,000 per month. Assuming CAGR of 12% on your investments, the value of the corpus would be: &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/budwisefunds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/compounding-effect.jpg\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script> <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6495755798120621\" data-ad-slot=\"6499025866\"><\/ins> <script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So, as you can see that the longer you stay invested the more wealth you would be able to create.
